Growth as Big as Texas
“I have the best job in Texas because I get to see the impact of your gifts to TSTC. You are
providing access to the American dream for those who thought they would never receive
that gift. It changes lives for generations to come and is the gift that keeps on giving.”
RANDALL WOOTEN, PROVOST
Texas State Technical College in Fort Bend County
opened its doors in 2016 and since has seen
expansion that is growing as rapidly as the Texas
population. None of this growth would be possible
without the belief and generosity of those who
have given to TSTC in the past and will continue to
do so in the future.
TSTC Provost Randall Wooten says he has the
best job in Texas because he gets to see the
difference such gifts make every single day. Those
gifts recently made a difference when TSTC was
estimated to reach its student limit. Determined
not to turn any student away, TSTC’s donors
answered the call to help expand the Industrial
Technology Center. This not only allowed the
college to welcome more students to campus, but
it also helped it double the capacity of the Welding
Technology program and make updates to the
Electrical Lineworker Technology program, which
included adding a Commercial Driver’s License
course to the curriculum. This addition ensures that
TSTC’s Electrical Lineworker Program produces even
more job-ready employees for companies that hire
our students.
These investments more than doubled the capacity
of both programs and would not have been
possible without the generous donations of
The Henderson-Wessendorff Foundation;
The George Foundation; and The Bert F. Winston,
Sr. Foundation.
The incredible donors at The Henderson-
Wessendorff Foundation said it best. “Texas State
Technical College is a natural extension of our
foundation’s purpose to support and encourage
people to lead more productive and satisfying
lives.”
Contributions to TSTC not only help the college
continue to expand, but they also allow it to
continue to equip Texans with the training that can
help them to get to work, fulfill their aspirations
and keep the Lone Star State thriving.
THE
GEORGE
FOUNDATION
“The Trustees of The George Foundation have identified ‘career readiness’ as a priority
area for our grant-making strategy. TSTC has a proven track record of providing a bestin-class
technical education that will allow young men and women the opportunity to
secure a good-paying job upon graduation to pursue their American dream.”
